According to sources, the SFs had taken control of important positions in the lower Orakzai Agency area of Feroze Khel and were now moving deeper into the tribal territory.

A senior US diplomat on December 4 alleged that some Al Qaeda leadership could be present in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, Dawn reported. "Our intelligence shows that some of the Al Qaeda leadership is in Pakistan," Candace Putnam, the US Consul-General in Peshawar, told a media roundtable in Peshawar. "I don’t know where Osama bin Laden is on any given day, but we do know that some of the leadership is sitting in Quetta and that they travel back and forth from Afghanistan to Pakistan," she said. "We know that they are there. And I think your government also knows this. Whether they want to say this in public or not but I think they know they are there," she added. She also said that the United States had been successful in removing some of the Al Qaeda leadership. But increasingly, she added, the United States had found that Al Qaeda was working with the Taliban, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

According to the AFP, Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters that the Taliban militants entered the mosque disguised as worshippers. Claiming responsibility for the attack, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said the Parade Lane mosque was similar to Masjid-e-Zarrar built in Madina by the munafiqeen (infidel), and was "demolished on the orders of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)". Talking to BBC, the TTP leader Waliur Rehman Mehsud said his men attacked senior army officers. "Our militants attacked the military officers (our primary target) and we will continue to attack the army," he said, adding that the civilians killed in the attack were relatives of army personnel and their deaths "did not matter," Daily Times reported.

Daily Times quoting an intelligence reports warned on December 8 that the al Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are planning to carry out attacks at the Karachi’s hospitals and the airport to “avenge Operation Rah-e-Nijat”. The reports stated that the Taliban could strike in the guise of patients or Haj pilgrims. A communiqué sent by the Interior Ministry’s National Crisis Management Cell to provincial authorities warned that Taliban could also use improvised explosive devices (IED) and suicide attacks against foreigners in Karachi. A letter issued by Sindh Special Home Secretary Collin Kamran Dost to Inspector General of Police Sallahuddin Khattak quoted intelligence sources as saying that the Taliban’s possible targets could be US citizens, people associated with American projects and guests staying at hotels, and US diplomats and employees working for foreign non-governmental organisations. According to another communiqué, the TTP plans to target hospitals and airports, while posing as patients in wheelchairs and as pilgrims arriving in the city after Haj. Moreover, the Taliban are likely to use vehicles covered with garlands – such as the ones used in wedding processions – to carry suicide bombers and explosives to the areas they seek to target.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) will take on the Army when winter arrives in the tribal region, TTP chief T.T.P. Hakeemullah Mehsud said in a phone call with CNN on December 8, according to The News. “We will wait till January for our offensive since we are stronger during the snowing season,” Hakeemullah said. He said he was confident despite the large-scale military operation currently targeting the TTP in South Waziristan. “We have conserved our energy and have not lost our morale,” he said. “The leadership of my organisation is safe,” he said, but he did not say where they were taking refuge. He neither denied nor confirmed that the TTP was responsible for the December 8 suicide blast outside the District court in Peshawar. “Being occupied in other matters, I have not been able to contact my colleagues there, so I will not be able to take responsibility at this time,” Hakeemullah said.

Four militants of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), including their ‘commander’, were arrested in the Quaidabad area of Karachi on December 13, according to Daily Times. The arrested militants were allegedly plotting terror activities in the city during Moharramul Haram (Islamic Religious Month) and four hand grenades, four Kalashnikovs and three-and-a-half kilogrammes of hashish were recovered from their possession. The Senior Superintendent of Police (East Zone II Investigations) Choudhry Aslam Khan said the arrested men have been identified as Noor Wali, Niaz alias Riaz, Kher Mohammad alias Kaka and Niaz alias Omer. Giving details about the militant’s background, Khan said they had abducted a businessman named Zain Mehdi in Karachi, detained him for three months and later released him after receiving ransom money of PNR one million. Two months back, they had killed a man named Zubair at the Sohrab Goth graveyard suspecting him of being a Police informer. They had also robbed PNR one million from a petrol pump in Federal B Area of Karachi.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on December 14 urged clerics to refrain from issuing edicts against suicide bombing without lending an ear to the “jihadi point of view”, according to Daily Times. TTP spokesman Azam Tariq said, “We expect that the clerics will not issue fatwas against suicide bombing without listening to the point of view of the jihadi forces.” “These clerics, if they are forced by the Government to issue decrees against us, should visit areas where Security Forces’ operation is going on to know who is doing what.” The TTP appeal came after the Government sought edicts from renowned religious scholars and clerics against suicide attacks. “Issuing fatwas against suicide bombing on the basis of the Government’s propaganda is unjust,” the spokesman added.

The Taliban leadership is sending messages from various sources to the Government for holding dialogue, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on December 15, according to Daily Times. “The Government cannot hold talks with unreliable people who don’t even fulfil their commitments. If the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) really wants to hold dialogue with the Government, they must surrender and lay down their arms first,” Malik said. He said TTP leader Hakeemullah Mehsud had accepted responsibility for the Parade Lane mosque attack in Rawalpindi, adding that the TTP had time and again accepted the responsibility of militant attacks in various parts of the country including suicide attacks on students at the International Islamic University. “How can they (Taliban) blame the country’s secret agencies for carrying out terrorist attacks,” he asked, adding that, “TTP spokesman Azam Tariq is a liar. He is the person who first announced the death of Hakeemullah Mehsud and said Faqir Muhammad will be the head of the TTP, but later backtracked.” “The leadership of TTP has realised that their so-called and self-designed jihad is meaningless now as the clerics have denounced suicide attacks and their jihad, which is against innocent people,” Malik said.

The Pakistan Army will crackdown on the Sirajuddin Haqqani network after the completion of the South Waziristan operation, a private television channel quoted United States Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen as saying on December 17, according to Daily Times. In an interview with the channel, Mullen said Pakistan’s operation against terrorists in Waziristan was in its final phase, adding that the Security Forces had gained considerable success against the Taliban. To a question, Mullen said US President Barack Obama had directed his administration to work to build mutual trust between Pakistan and the US. He said Obama had discussed the new Pak-Afghan policy with the Pakistani leadership over telephone and addressed Islamabad’s concerns over the issue. He said Washington respected Pakistan’s sovereignty, however, the US had conveyed its reservations to Pakistan Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani. Mullen said he had asked Kayani to fight al Qaeda, which was hiding in the Tribal Areas

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘deputy chief’ Waliur Rehman said he has sent thousands of fighters to neighbouring Afghanistan to rebuff incoming US troops. Waliur Rehman said the TTP remains committed to battling the Army in South Waziristan, but they are essentially waging a guerrilla war. “Since Obama (President Barack Obama) is also sending additional SFs to Afghanistan, we sent thousands of our men there to fight North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and American SFs,” Rehman said. While the military estimated it had killed around 600 Taliban militants, Rehman claimed that he had lost fewer than 20. He also said his group would stop attacking Pakistan’s SFs if the country would sever its ties with the US. He claimed the Taliban only attacked SFs and did not believe in any strikes on civilian targets.

A suicide bomber on December 28 targeted Pakistan's largest procession of Shiite Muslims on their holiest day of Ashura, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 63 persons, according to Dawn. The blast sparked riots in Karachi, the financial capital, where angry mourners went on the rampage, throwing stones at ambulances, torching cars and shops and firing bullets into the air. Tens of thousands of Police and paramilitary forces, fearing militant attacks on Ashura processions were deployed. “The blast was so huge that I felt my hearing had gone, but then I started hearing cries of injured people and saw pieces of human flesh and blood on the road,” said Abbas Ali, 35, one of the mourners thrown to the ground. Interior Minister Rehman Malik blamed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), against which the Army has been waging a major operation in near the Afghan border, and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), another of most feared Islamist networks. “At least 30 people have been killed so far in the suicide attack and 63 others have been injured,” Provincial Health Minister Saghir Ahmed told AFP. “We have declared emergency at all hospitals in Karachi and doctors are making every effort to save the injured. The situation is very grim,” he added. Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road, where the attack happened, was ablaze with burning cars and motorcycles, and covered in debris from buildings attacked by rioters, said an AFP correspondent. This attack was the deadliest in Karachi since a suicide bomber targeted the homecoming of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto -- who was assassinated two months later -- killing at least 139 people in October 2007. It was the third attack on Ashura commemorations in Pakistan in 2009. However, The News put the death toll to 40.

A spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on December 31 denied that the TTP was behind the suicide attack that targeted a Muharram procession on December 28 in Karachi, according to Daily Times. TTP spokesman Azam Tariq said over the phone from an undisclosed location that his group was not responsible for the attack. About purported spokesman Asmatullah Shaheen’s earlier claim for responsibility on December 30, Azam said he could have been referring to his own group, but TTP had nothing to do with the attack. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Asmatullah was a “self-proclaimed” TTP spokesman.
